Starbucks is testing weekened brunch at select locations

The smell of fall is already in the air with the official return of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Now sweets lovers have another reason to get excited for Starbucks this fall: brunch. The coffee chain is testing a rollout of Belgian waffles as part of a new project called Weekend Brunch.

Starbucks confirmed Tuesday this was a test for approximately 70 Starbucks locations in the Portland and Seattle areas. It’s part of the coffee company's new brunch menu featuring more freshly baked items that include a baked French toast and quiche.
